Matthew 15
After they were in exile in Babylon for seventy years, the
Jewish priests began to make detailed regulations concerning the daily life of
the people. These regulations determined
what made a person unclean, requiring certain sacrifices in the temple to
receive God’s forgiveness.
15:8, 18: After the
Pharisees challenge Jesus, he turns the tables by challenging them. In these verses he makes a distinction
between the words and actions of people and what is in their hearts. If you rated the cleanliness of your heart,
how is your relationship with God? Do
your actions reveal to others how you feel about Him?
15:21-28: How did you
react to reading Jesus first response to the Canaanite woman’s request for
help? Why do you think He spoke to her in this
way? How do you feel about her response
to Jesus? What lesson does this story teach?
15:29-31: People
were amazed when they saw the results of Jesus’ healing on the crowds. What things have you seen God do in people’s
lives that have amazed you? What
amazing thing has God done in your life?
15:32-39: When you
consider the miracles of Jesus that are recorded in the Scriptures, does it
change your thinking about the possibility of the unbelievable happening in
your life or at our church?
